There is an organised plan from the former minister of tourism and greek people in the cruise industry to promote Thessaloniki as much as they can to cruise companies.
Well the reviews from the visitors this season are not so good.
Even if the former minister is from there, they should first check how the port of Thessaloniki (an industrial city and second largest in Greece) can handle the cruise passengers, what it can offer and then decide to put it on the front of their plans for Eastern Med cruises.
Thessaloniki is like Athens without Akropolis.
